Making it’s presence known at the New York International Auto Show yesterday, the Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive made it’s debut. The B-Class Electric Drive brings the wonderful world of electricity powered vehicles to the high-end luxury market. It’s official U.S. launch is slated for early 2014 and it promises to be a big hit amongst the world’s rich and green. The five passenger vehicle is equipped with a 100KW electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack which allows for a top speed of 100 mph and a range of 115 miles.

Recharging is simple and can be done at a standard domestic power outlet. Two hours of plug-in yields about 60 miles of travel time. The interior specs allow for an MP3 capable CD player with a USB connection and a 14.7cm multi-media system. Technology brings an accident warning radar and MAP PILOT navigation to this machine as well. The price is still to be determined but will be disclosed as soon as they are dropped into the showrooms early next year.
